Build Your Own Pizza (11-inch)
Abby R.

While the build your own pizza premise is excellent, I unfortunately had a relatively poor experience here the last time I swung by. I placed an order online, and then came in person to pick it up. I stated my name, and I was told my order wasn't ready. My app had predicted it being ready a few minutes prior, so I mentioned that, and they let me know it was still being made. I waited for 20 minutes before asking again, and was told that it still was not ready. Another 10, I asked a third time. It was now about 45min after the predicted time for my order. After asking a third time, they let me know the order had been ready all along and gave me a cold pizza. Since it was cold, it didn't taste as great. This experience occurred during a Friday night rush, so the location was completely packed and I think the workers were a bit overwhelmed. I don't blame them, the environment was really hectic, but it was pretty upsetting. I was late to my plans and had a cold pizza to show for it. I do want to say, this was not my first time there, and typically my experiences during less busy times are pleasant. Unlimited toppings for a fixed price--what's not to love! A fun premise and typically good food--I definitely cannot recommend swinging by during a rush, or placing an online order. The business made it understandably hard to talk to the employees to avoid this kind of error, and I think they were too swamped to notice how long I'd been waiting. But at the very least, the busy energy of the place is proof enough that people do love the pizzas here! While this was a pretty bad experience, typically I have decent ones here. Additionally, my pizza was made correctly and the workers were kind when they were able to speak to me briefly. For now, I'll call it 3 stars, but I'd be happy to give it another try and see if the service is a little better. I think they were just a touch understaffed for a rush!

Cheese Pizza (Simple Pie) (11-inch)

I've been to this Blaze Pizza so many times and always order the same thing: light sauce and extra cheese. This time they completely ignored the light sauce request and the pizza was absolutely covered in sauce. It was so saucy that it was honestly disgusting and I could barely eat it. When I asked for extra cheese, the employee told me he couldn't do it because it "smokes the ovens." My mom explained that we've ordered extra cheese here every time, including about a month ago, and his response was, "Well, things change over the years." That made no sense considering they literally just did it for us recently. If the policy changed, that's fine, but the attitude and the fact that my order wasn't made the way I asked made the whole experience really disappointing.

Big big fan of blaze pizza. They make the pizza right in front of you and it's always delicious. I've almost always had a good experience. This location is particularly very busy at times. Online orders are prioritized which sometimes leaves the staff overwhelmed when they get multiple at a time.

A delicious white pizza

The subway of Pizza. There are so many toppings you can choose from, and you can customize it however you want. It's a free country. You can make a white spinach onion pizza, and it's perfect, because it's personal. The atmosphere is decent, and the people are nice. Delicious of course. I was satisfied and full.

This location is absolutely amazing and incredibly affordable. Their build your own is my favorite EVER. Out of every pizza I have ever tried - vegan and not vegan. So good and they let you pick as many toppings as you want! I drive up the 90 min to get there whenever I'm craving pizza with no worries!! I would say avoid the weekends if you don't like waiting around too much. They're very popular and are often short staffed. It could be frustrating especially because I've had to wait almost one hour three different times for an online order. I guess it's to be expected nowadays though. I know many places are short staffed and this location is right at UConn so I get it. It won't stop me from coming back again and again.

Blaze Pizza is a spacious facility, with pretty good pizza. You have the option of their signature pies or you can built your own. These pizza's are like snacks, and if your hungry you can easily eat 2 of these thin crust pies. So if you are with a large group you are able to try out all their signature pies, and create a few of your own.

Build Your Own Pizza (11-inch)
Yutin Z.

Great place for personalized pizza. The BYO (Build your Own) allows you to build a pizza with the crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice! You can even add a drizzle of bbq sauce, hot sauce, pesto, balsamic, etc. for an additional flavor! The place does sometimes get crowded as it is a great place for college students to hangout. My favorite pizza is the regular crust with red sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, Italian sausage, green peppers, pineapple, mushroom, basil, garlic cloves, and spinach with bbq drizzle! You can order in person which will allow you to see the toppings or ahead on the blaze app. If using the app, you can also earn points towards rewards such as a free drink, garlic bread, or even a pizza! They also run a promotion year on pi day they have a reward for $3.14 BYO 11 inch pizza!

I love the personal pies here! Great options and great price for the build your own pie. I added bacon, black olives, basil, fresh mozzarella, sea salt, oregano, pesto, and a vinaigrette. So good! I love coming here with friends after class for a meal everyone can enjoy. The staff are very nice as well!

Pesto Garlic Cheesy Bread
Anna L.

Good local spot for anyone at UConn. The service can be quick depending on how many people are there. The pesto cheesy bread was delicious and I would definitely recommend. I customized a 2 topping pizza and I really enjoyed the thin crust. It felt a little like New Haven pizza but at school. Everything is fairly priced as well and there are often fundraisers by local UConn organizations. The place is nice and there is seating.

He chose Willington Pizza House because it's his favorite place to have pizza... and now we know why. I am still in shock that the total bill for 9 hungry college kids and two hungry out-of-town parental units was still under $200. We did have pitchers of cider too - and everyone left with food. Speaking of food - the pizza my husband and I split was cheese, extra cheese, sausage, mushroom, and pepperoni. The crust of the pizza was phenomenal - you don't get a crust like that anywhere in California. Crunchy outside, chewy inside with a slight saltiness -- almost like a fine sourdough... I don't know- it was absolutely delicious. The salad we had was also good, but the pizza is what sticks to my memory - and probably my belly too! The server was great, and she handled all of us with laughter, kindness, and great service. I wish we lived in CT, just so we could eat here more often!

I did order it with out olives but it arrived with lots iof olives which I pushed to one side. Daughter said the hot cheese dip was really good, chips tasted like any chips out of a bag. She said her pizza wasn't good, crust tasted like frozen gf crust and wasn't much cheese on it. Service was great. Place was clean. Handicap bathroom was also clean. Wasn't the best meal we ever had but was our 1 st time here. Maybe our next time here will be better.

After the first bite of their mixed grill, I immediately understood why this is his favorite spot. This small shop can get busy, but it's well-staffed and efficiently run. The employees take pride in what they do. the cashier welcomes you with a smile, and the owner is always present, making sure everything is prepared correctly. The food is surprisingly delicious, and the portions are huge! definitely generous for a campus restaurant. There's plenty of seating inside, with additional tables outside. The ordering style is similar to Chipotle: you pick your base and sides, and they build your plate right in front of you. Smart and familiar. I come through UConn often, and Gansett has become one of the reasons I enjoy stopping by Storrs-Mansfield. If you're in the area, give them a try. I'm sure you won't regret it!

The sandwiches we've tried have also been very good, and even the Buffalo wings are tasty. House salad is an okay side, a totally ordinary plate of iceberg lettuce and cukes and green peppers. A palate cleanser. Bigger dinner salads and antipastos are also available, and assume are pretty good, based upon the quality of the other food offerings. The only place NEP&R falls short -- okay, two places -- is the service and the actual dining room. The dining area is wide but only a few tables deep, and the air-lock entrance way cuts the room in half. It can get very noisy, especially if you're seated near a table full of ESCU students, or a screaming kid whose parents don't seem to care (as on our last visit; when they couple left, we could hear people all over the restaurant saying "Whew! Finally!). There is a bar at one end of the dining room with a tv blaring crap. At times the staff seemed more interested on the celebrity profile show than on the diners waiting for attention. That said, they're really friendly. It's just that the don't really seem to be 100% on the ball on any of the times we've eaten in. It's frustrating when you can see the bar fifteen feet away, yet have to wait ten minutes for someone to pour a draft beer (which didn't even come filled to the top of the glass). And that house salad...how long can it take? Aren't these usually mostly pre-made, just toss a handful of lettuce on a plate with some veggies? We got our salad just moments before our pizza came out of the kitchen (and we know how long pizza takes). So, that stuff sounds negative. But really, this place has very good food! For that they earn four stars. One of the best pizzas in the area, if you like this style of pizza. If you like thin crust pizza, seek elsewhere. Highly recommended for take out. If this review was based only on the dining room experience, or the erratic service, it would be a iffy three stars.
